const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const dotenv = require('dotenv').config({ path: __dirname+'/.env' })
const env = dotenv.parsed;
const mail = require('./mail'); /* Add External mail.js File */
const portNumber = env.PORT_NUMBER;
app.get('/',(req,res) => {
try {
mail.sendMail();
res.send("Hello Friends.");
}
catch (e) {
console.log('Error :'+e);
}
});
app.listen(portNumber,() => {
console.log(`listening on port ${portNumber}!`);
});
```

```javascript
const dotenv = require('dotenv').config({ path: __dirname+'/.env' })
const env = dotenv.parsed;
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');

const mailOptions = {
to: 'mahendran@mailinator.com',
from: env.MAIL_FROM,
subject: 'Test Local Node JS Email',

html: "Hello world?",
};
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: env.MAIL_HOST,
port: env.MAIL_PORT,
secure: env.MAIL_SECURE,
auth: {
user: env.MAIL_USERNAME,
pass: env.MAIL_PASSWORD
},
});
try
{
transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function(error, info){
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
console.log('Email sent: ' + info.response);
}
});
}catch (e) {
console.log(e);
